Abstrakt:	Purpose: To compare VA outcomes in patients with advanced keratoconus wearing SCL or after ICRS or DALK. In addition, determine the percentage of complimentary treatments after ICRS and DALK, and which of these was fitting a SCL, and final visual acuity (f-VA) results. Methods: Retrospective case series analyzed 55 eyes with advanced keratoconus fitted with SCL, or after ICRS or a DALK between 2010 and 2018. The variables analyzed were sex, age, UDVA, CDVA, SEQ, K -readings, and f-VA after complimentary treatments. Results: Twenty-eight eyes underwent a DALK, 14 were fitted with a SCL, and other 13 underwent ICRS insertion. Patients after DALK and after ICRS showed statistically significant improvement in UDVA and CDVA after surgery, with no difference between these groups. Patients fitted with SCL showed statistically higher CDVA improvement when compared to ICRS. After DALK and ICRS, respectively, nine eyes (32.14%) and seven eyes (53.85%) were fitted with SCL. Comparison between f-VA with SCL in three groups showed that the best result was achieved in DALK + SCL, with statistically significant difference to only SCL. Conclusion: We showed that the CDVA of eyes fitted with SCL without any surgical treatment was statistically better than CDVA of eyes after ICRS insertion. After DALK and ICRS insertion, many patients needed a complimentary treatment to improve CDVA. The most chosen treatment was fitting a SCL. After this, all eyes showed statistically significant improvement in f-VA, with statistically better results for DALK + SCL when compared to SCL fitted in advanced keratoconus without any surgical treatment.
